Just posted on Facebook about this, horrifying thought that you could die doing the sport you love like that. Especially so young. Thoughts should go out to the bowler too as well, he's going to have to be ridiculously mentally strong to get through this.

Seen some saying the bowler should be up on a manslaughter charge. I guess he did cause another persons death by accident. Seems harsh though. Anyone saying that is a fucking mong and needs to have a fucking word. He deserves nothing but the full support of everyone involved with Australian Cricket. Edit: I should clarify I realise you're not saying that Mike, I wasn't aiming that at you.

Any bad mong attatching any blame to the bowler doesn't understand cricket.

Ridiculously sad to hear. Was sure he would pull through. You just wouldn't think otherwise. RIP, thoughts are with his friends and family. Seems a very popular guy.
And a lot of sympathy for Abbott. It was just your usual short ball. To have that ball in his mind, I'm not sure how he can cope to bowl now. It will take a lot of courage to come out the pitch. And I hope no idiot will blame him.

Loads of boxers have killed people in the ring, Barry McGuigan for example. I know boxing is protected from legal action, I imagine most sports are. Even then it is nothing more than a freak accident, couldn't be culpable. RIP to him, don't follow cricket but that's pretty shocking something like that could happen.

Even when they said he was in a coma I didn't expect him to pass away, with what we've had recently with Schumacher and Bianchi I was almost ignorant to the chance he could pass away from such an injury.
Immense credit to Michael Clarke throughout all of this as both a captain and a decent human being.

Yeah although it was obviously really serious and he was in a critical condition you always just assume these guys will manage to pull through. Michael Clarke has been incredible by the sounds of things, that video of him reading the statement on behalf of the Hughes family is heartbreaking. Sean Abbott will have all the support possible but as it is I just can't see how he'll want to pick up a cricket ball again, only a few weeks ago he made his Australian T20 debut alongside Phil Hughes (also his T20 International debut) and now.... Absolutely horrible. I'm gutted.

Horrible news. Gutting that someone can go so young. RIP.
Pan Australian Doctor or team member said this is only ever the second time has happened or something.
